Just got this in my email today from adpaid.com. Thought I would warn e1 who is into PTR/PTC sites would appreciate this warning.
Hello ,
URGENT PLEASE READ - Please note that there is a scam email circulating that is seemingly coming from E-GOLD. However upon review the email is being sent to emails not used at e-gold, and asking for vital details. Members are reporting the email as well, even if they do not have an E-Gold account.
Do not download the pdf file in the email. This may be a source of a virus.
Secure your systems and run all scans if you did download the document. You would need to run your antivirus (ie AVG), malware scanners (ie SpybotSD) for threats.
A copy of the email is below without any links in it. So it is safe to read.
Please be careful out there folks. Thanks to the members that alerted us to this.
Kind Regards,
Jeffry, Marty and Fuchsia
